About this work

This sketch shows a rough, quick drawing in pencil. You can see a table with a vase of flowers on it, and a chair pushed back. The walls are scribbled with messy lines, almost like a stormy sky. The whole thing looks hurried, like someone sketched it fast. The pencil strokes are layered in a way that makes dark and light spots. This is called cross-hatching. It’s not a finished picture—just a fast, loose idea. Want to see more like this? Look up cross-hatching.
